tsalnukt 1 #1 May 4, 2018 Hi, Packing up a Nano reserve and it has soft links on it that I can only presume are Icarus soft links as there are no markings. Does anyone have any expereience with these? Are they legal to use on the reserve? Is there any way identify if they are in fact icarus removable soft links? thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowlerk 2,192 #2 May 4, 2018 From their website, these are the instructions for their reserve softlinks. Pictures are good enough to ID them. http://www.icaruscanopies.aero/images/downloads/otec870029_soft_links_reserve_rev_1.pdf From the manual: QuoteIt is permissible to substitute connector links as long as they are compatible with the container, all four connector links are of the same type, and they are all certified for use under TSO C23d to operational limits exceeding the operational limits of the reserve parachute. If substitute links are used, they need to be installed in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer of the links. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Found a picture of them here: http://sky-shop.eu/icarus-slink-reserve what do you all think?They look like my Icarus soft links on my main, except mine are white. That's about all I can tell you. I am not sure what's on my Nano as I have not used it, but I would be surprised if they are not soft links. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
betzilla 56 #5 May 7, 2018 Icarus World's reserve soft links now have a little orange cloth bit on the ring, with a TSO stamp (the early ones didn't have this, and the ones in the photo you posted don't either). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tsalnukt 1 #6 May 7, 2018 cool cool.. Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware there was an older generation of them. Either way, I replaced them with PD reserve S-links. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
